Continuing our candy countdown to Valentine’s Day, today I’ll be sharing the set of twelve standard-sized Valentine M&M’s packs.\u00a0 First released during Valentine’s season in 2012, these are back for a second year and they’re a great set of M&M’s wrappers.<\/p>\n

As I’ve brought up in previous posts, while M&M’s has been producing holiday-themed large packages for many years, 2011 was the first time that Mars made holiday-themed M&M’s in standard-sized packs.<\/p>\n

Here on CollectingCandy, I’ve already covered the Candy Corn Halloween M&M’s packs<\/a> and the Christmas Mint M&M’s packs<\/a> – and while today’s Valentine packs don’t get a unique flavor they’re still pretty neat.\u00a0 Four of the M&M’s mascot characters are represented;\u00a0 Green, Red, Blue and Yellow.<\/p>\n

The set consists of six different M&M’s chocolate packs and six M&M’s peanut packs.\u00a0 Here they are:<\/p>\n

That’s all twelve of the standard-sized Valentine’s M&M’s packs.<\/p>\n

These Valentine packs have been offered for two years running, so it’ll be interesting to see if they change them up for next year.\u00a0 As a collector I hope they do, as it would be fun to collect a new and different set – but I wouldn’t be surprised to see these return for a couple more years.<\/p>\n

I have a few other related pieces to share today.\u00a0 Last items to show today are four different fun-size Valentine’s M&M’s packs.\u00a0 To my knowledge, these were only offered in the milk chocolate flavor.<\/p>\n

And that’s everything I’ve got to share today on Valentine’s M&M’s packs.\u00a0 Drop back by tomorrow for more Valentine’s candy fun.<\/p>\n

See you next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
